complex analysis - Convergence of series and summation methods for divergent series

I would like to know what is the sum of this series:




k=111(1)nk

with n=1,2,3,...



In case the previous series is not convergent, I would like to know which are the conditions that would have been required in order for it to be convergent. I can understand that there could be a set of values of n for which the series is not convergent, but this does not directly prove that there are no values of n for which, instead, it is.
In case the previous series is not convergent in the “classical” sense, I would like to know if it can be associated to it a sum, employing those summation methods used to assign a value to a divergent series; like, for example, the Ramanujan summation method which associates to the following well known divergent series



k=1k



the value 112.

Note that, in general, the argument of the sum considered can assume complex values!
